Our most frustrating and painful patterns are often rooted in past experiences that continue to impact us, whether consciously or subconsciously. I strongly believe if you are feeling stuck, it’s not random and there is nothing wrong with you. Many clients have come to me because they find themselves unable to make significant changes despite past therapeutic work and education or they feel powerless in their life and/or relationships. I focus on creating an emotionally safe environment where we explore these experiences and behaviors with curiosity.

I know that it is not easy facing life's issues. Talking about them and learning to manage life differently can increase our ability to live happy, more productive lives.

I especially love to help improve the physical connection in couples, and help overcome and heal unhealthy cultural or emotional traumas that may be inhibiting the ability to have a fulfilling sexual relationship.

Many people are finding that they are facing challenges that were unexpected. For many of us, continuing on without changing is likely to result in developing meaningless habits, alcohol/substance abuse, ignoring work/relationships, or engaging in self-sabotaging behaviors. Often times there are internal barriers, patterns, or ways of thinking that prevent us from making the changes in our lives. Through understanding our defenses and patterns of behavior, I believe therapy can help to assist in uncovering hope, insight, and develop new skills so you may move forward with passion and purpose.

I believe the power to heal and understand is within our reach, sometimes we just need a reminder of our potential. I have experience working with all ages from school age to adult. I believe in empowering others by helping them gain confidence in themselves through knowledge and skill building so they have the power and courage to conquer their challenges.

Do you feel hurt, stuck, or unseen in your marriage? So many people do. I believe the couple relationships can be the most painful or the most joyful part of life. It is my passion to bring couples to the joyful side of marriage. A great relationship doesn't take special people; it takes learning how to treat each other special. I believe couples can overcome almost every injury. I am trained to help couples heal infidelity, compulsive porn use, difficult sexual dynamics, and childhood trauma. I am Gottman level 2 trained and EFT informed, but my favorite couple’s approach is PACT therapy by Stan Tatkin.
